GEN. BRAGG's assertion that the men
who enlisted in the Union army between
June, 1864, and June 1865, were the
''scum and dregs of the earth who
stayed at home till they 1were bought"
has called out sharp letter from J. III.
Stanley, of Sargent, Dakota. Mr. Stanley
writes that he was one of the men who
enlisted during the period named He
was then living in GAINESVILLE, Calumet
county, in this state, and enlisted III Feb
ruary, 1865, in the Forty-eighth Wiscon-
sin regiment. The company which he
entered was mostly made up of men we'll
advanced in years. They were substan-
tial farmers and as good citizens as the
state contained. Mr.. Stanley gives the
names of number of them, and says:
Earlier in the war our country had sent
all her surplus men, the young men, our
children, to the front. Only very few
were left, but in response to the last and
final call, ne older men left our homes
and farms in charge of our wives, daugh-
tiers and little boys and went into the war
in response to our country's call. Then
for you speak OF your neighbors and the
class of men who have voted for you for
congress, and who entered the army when
called upon, as the "scum and dregs of
the earth" is not only an ofense against
manhood, but crime that the true sol
der will never forget and not soon for

81. Expend he money under the di-
rection OF the supervisors, they appoint

think best, selecting overseers for their
fitness, and giving them work enough for
them to make it an object to learD what
they are about. Much of the work can
be lobbed out Above all, apply the
work when it is needed most, and what
is done, do NELL, and not as is now done,
raise hulIaballoo all over town for a
week in June, and then let it subside un-

THE TO WIN BONDS.

Assembyman George Grimm has in-
troduced a bill in the legislature entitled
an act to enable the town of Jefferson to
settle with its creditors. 1t authorizes
the town of Jefferson to issue new bonds
in exchange for the bonds heretofore
issued to aid in the construction OF the
Wisconsin Central railroad aud the Chi
cago, st Paul and Fond du Lac, now
outstanding AMI unpaid. The new bonds
may be made payable at such place and
time, not exceeding twenty years from
date of bill, as may be agreed upon with
the present holders of the bonds, and
they shall be payable to bearer and be
transferable, at rate of interest rot ex-
ceeding FIVE per cent. per annum. The
bill provides for the appointment of G.
Grimm, Ira w. Biri and Geo. j. Kisrert,
to be commissioners of the public debt
of the town of Jefferson "

ROAD TAX.

Under the above head Robert Fargo of
Lake Mills, furnishes The Lake Mills
Leader with an interesting statement of
facts connected with road building,ss a
subject of interest to the people at the pres
ent time, and especially to the farmers.
Mr.. Fargo has given the subject much
thought, and his conclusions and sug-
ges:ions will be found of great interest
He says:
A short time ago one of your subscrib-
ers Of the farming persuasion and d tax
worker said to me. Il wish YOU would
write another article for The Leader
about paying the road tax in money.
When the question was under discussion
two years ago the people did not fully
understand it. If it was placed clearly
before them, am sure majority would
be in favor of paying the tax in money"
This question of so much nportance-
Sc little UNDERSTANDING newspaper arti
Gle Of reasonable or readable length can
compass one side of it.
That our roads are growing no better,
tx
demonstrate. That they are no better
Except a few impossible places and
across streams) than they were forty
years..ago is conceded by those who know
best What is the matter? With a tax
levy of $4,000 a year for more than gen
eratiou, ought, if rightly collected and
expended, to have McAdamized all the
roads in town, with a large surplus. Let
us look little, tn.
In Lake Mills we have 10 road districts
outside of the village having from one to
seven miles of highway each. With taxes
ranging from 81 81 in No. IL, Finder
district, 1898 in No. 10 Krupkie's dis
trict, to 1888 in No. l, about the vii
lage, and 1879 in No 2, Everson's dis
trict. The total levied and pretended
to be worked was over $4,000 last year,
upon levy OF mills ON the dollar.
Where and how was the money expend-
ed? 4 turnpike was MADE or renewed
here and there, to be squeezed out at the
sides or washed ont by the rain or freshet,
to be unmade ia from three to five years
"a few loads of gravel were Sprinkted
on the roads in few places, to be swal-
lowed up and go out of sight this spring
if not before. But in most districts moth
ing remains to tell the story of the $4,000
tax.
WHAT'S the cause of all this waste Of
force? And why do we deliberately
cheat ourselves? And what is the rem
edy?
The cause lies in our worthless, barhar-
GUS system Cor want of SYSTEM of making
roads. Road making requires method,
skill, and judgment. We take 10 men
from 10 cornfields, where their time is
Invaluable, or superintend road making
in 10 districts, to lay out the average
over $4,000 each in 10 methods with 10
results. The officer being elected annu-
ally, the chances are that all will be

Do to-day's duty, fight to-day's
temptation, and do not weaken
and distract yourself by looking
forward to things which you cannot
see, and could not understand if you
saw them.-Ch Charles Kingsley.
Encouragement comes from our
State President who writes: "Sev-
eral Unions, five white and three
colored, have been lately organized
and the work is moving forward as
never before" We shall look for
report of these unions in the w.
G. L. U. Department Of the Free
man.
Another helper, young lady of Elk
Garden, whom we greatly respect and
upon whom we have been depending
as a co-worker sends clipping from
the Maine Farmer. 1t gives an account
of little girl who was true to her
pledge when invited to drink cider.
Children can be trusted if properly
taught. Our friend writes that she
dislikes leaving home on account of
the little good she can do there, but
adds: my training at the Seminary
will better fit me for usefulness in the
future" We predict for her life of
genuine usefulness in the service of
God.
Another, the wife of a physician,
says in letter, My heart aches over
those fallen women in the dens. The
history of some of them is fearful.
But they say with truth there is moth
ing for them. Nobody will receive
them and wherever they go some one
VIII see ana recognize them and tell
their shame" She adds, Il was
interested in your article on this very
subject In a recent paper. A few
weeks later there comes the following:
The 'dens' have been closed at last; |
hope permanently. The proprietor has
been arrested but escaped, undoubted-
ly through the connivance of the
justice and marshal. An aristocratic
member of Christian church offered
to go bail for him for $4,000 and was
refused"
While there may be no disposition
10 clash or antagouiZe each others
principles or views, yet discussion on
the various phases of Christian work
and needs may always be in place. We
are glad if anything we have said in
the paper has interested any one upon
this important subject. When the
authorities of our towns will look on
with indifference and do nothing TO
Danish brothers which are almost
inseparable from saloons, it is well for
the women of all Christian organiz-
atiOns to agitate the matter in every
possible way. A few years since we
heard a person say he never heard a
minister preach on the Seventh Com
mandment. We wondered then what
minister could say in the pulpit up-
on the subject; but il seems III at womin

all kinds OF sin. Some good man saws.
only when society Is ashamed TO sin
should we be ashamed to speak Of sin. -
Let the women talk on TIL the men who
have the power shall be willing TO rid
themselves OF the charge OF completely
IN vice by giving IL license. The
